The Air Jordan 12 Retro Black Taxi takes on the silhouette of the original AJ12 and was created for grade-schoolers. This Retro Air Jordan 12 features smooth black leather panels on the upper paired with a black, pebbled mudguard. A blacked-out midsole and outsole complete the look, contrasted by Taxi hits on the Jumpman logo. The shoe also features Two3 graphics on the tongue, eyelets, and molded panel on the side with Jumpman branding. A small Taxi Jumpman emblem peeks out from the outsole, where a carbon fiber plate is visible. Launch date: December 3rd, 2022, retail price: $200. The Air Jordan 12 Retro Black Taxi presents a stealthy colorway of the legacy silhouette built for big kids. The upper is crafted from smooth black nubuck, marked with radiating stitched lines and bolstered with tonal synthetic mudguards in a subtle lizard texture. In addition to the upper eyelets, Taxi gold accents enliven a Jumpman logo on the tongue, Jordan-branded heel tabs, and ‘Jumpman’-debossed midfoot overlays. Lightweight cushioning arrives via a matching black foam midsole, fitted with a carbon fiber shank and an encapsulated Air-sole unit in the heel.
